Thread: Excessive shedding and itching?

Agree with above don't discount fleas.....
The fact that Pina was a rescue would indicate that she could quite well have had a flea burden when she was took in & if heavily infected would have been treated for the fleas but also given ab's for the wounds caused by them & the fact it is now "nearlly" the year round & as claudel has pointed out a very bad year for fleas that is what it sounds like....How you descibe it is typical FAD description,if its really bad she may need something more that straighforward flea treatments to settle it all down again.
Being indoors is definitely not a safeguard from the little pests & if that is what it is you might find you need to have a product to use in the house as well,a trip to the vets would soon confirm if it is the pesky little jumpers or if you place her on a piece of damp white kitchen roll & brush her coat if any little black bits that fall out turn red around the edges they are flea dirts & your question would be anwsered....x
